Kroll shared a communication he received from a newer Council member who expressed gratitude and appreciation of the tremendous amount of good work CASLPO staff and Council do. Bob expressed his pride in the work Council has done in his 9 years as a Council member and 2 years as President. He commented on the unprecedented change going on around us and how Council members, non-Council members and staff have responded proactively to shifts in regulation, legislation and governance. A special expression of appreciation to the public members who participate fully and bring valuable insight and input to each and every meeting and to the professional and academic members who provide a wealth of experience and expertise in the governance of CASLPO. 6. Evaluation Summary of January 18, 2019 Council Meeting The President shared that the Executive Committee reviewed the previous Council meeting’s feedback and provided the following recommendations: • Encourage all Council members to make every effort to participate in-person to all meetings. If not possible, more participation from members joining during teleconference will be encouraged. • Members can bring water containers to refill from the sink instead of using disposable bottles. • Agenda items with a great deal of reading information will have a note where possible to direct members to areas of focus and provide questions for discussion. • Staff to focus on leading discussion for agenda items at meetings rather than presenting material included and read by members in their meeting preparation. Draft CASLPO Council Meeting Minutes as at March 1, 2019; lb Approved by Council: 7. Registrar’s Report B. O’Riordan reported on operational items. 7.1 Operational Update • Remediation work at CASLPO offices are coming to a conclusion • Annual performance review goals for the Registrar were submitted to the Executive Committee for review at their meeting on February 15 • 25th Anniversary launched with activities planned monthly throughout 2019. 7.2 Self-Assessment Tool Submission Report Alex Carling reported that all Academic and General Members of CASLPO were required to submit their online Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) by 11.59 pm. EST, January 31st, 2019 at which time all but 23 members were in compliance. All members were required to review the Code of Ethics with 3,594 members clickig on the document. This year, the Quality Assurance Committee decided on the Code of Ethics as the new requirement for the SAT. This decision comes from data collected throughout the year such as calls received and issues/trends. The 23 outstanding submissions by members were received with a letter of explanation by the March 8 deadline. The process of completing and submitting the 2019 SAT was a success. We are increasing the submission rates at every phase of the process. B. Kroll and B. O’Riordan congratulated A. Carling and her team on this huge accomplishment. 7.3 MSAT Pilot (Mentor Self-Assessment Tool) Samidha Joglekar, Audiology Advisor & Manager of Mentorship, reported that in November, 2018, eight professional members participated in a MSAT pilot conducted at the CASLPO offices. Participants were from both professions who had recently been either a mentor or mentee. The objective was to have members test the usability of the MSAT and provide feedback including adjustments to the MSAT and a revised Mentorship Guide. Additional revised documents will be made available to members in coordination with the launch of the MSAT that is anticipated to be later in 2019. C. Bock congratulated Samidha on the development of this very sophisticated tool. 7.4 Practice Advice Report Alex Carling reported on the Annual Comparison of practice advice contacts for 2018. The number of members and other professionals contacting the College by phone or email continues to increase. There was a spike of calls from the public in 2017 as a publicly funded audiology department was closed and all the patients were told to contact the College to find alternative services. This, in part, could account for the decrease in calls from the public in 2018. Staff from Professional Practice and Professional Conduct are meeting to align data collection categories and to ensure that the data provides meaningful information. Noted the vast majority of calls from the public are how to find an Audiologist or Speech- Language Pathologist. Hits on areas of the website are also tracked. Calls received also include those from the public re: comments/complaints, other colleges, Ministry calls, etc. A. Carling and S. Joglekar recently hosted a booth at the Canadian Academy of Audiology Conference and spoke with as many Ontarians as possible to engage in information sharing. These communications are not reflected in the statistics. We will also have a booth at the 2019 SAC conference to encourage further engagement of our members. 8. CNO Vision 2020 Based on the review of feedback received in the survey by Council members following the January Council meeting, the Executive Committee is recommending that CASLPO provide a letter of response to the College of Nurses of Ontario. Although there is the option of providing no response, the Committee thinks a lack of response could be interpreted in many, varied ways and that it is prudent to avoid misinterpretation. The Committee recommends that the response addresses: 1. Common goals that CASLPO and CNO have with regard to always striving to improve protection of the public 2. The degree to which the proposed governance changes address CASLPO needs Draft CASLPO Council Meeting Minutes as at March 1, 2019; lb Approved by Council: 3.

Conservatives share of vote is slightly higher than the Liberals, making major gains in key areas for the party • Bloc Quebecois (BQ) is a winner in this election, moving up to official party status which will give the party added resources as well as significance in the House of Commons • The NDP managed to win enough seats to potentially play an important role in the House of Commons, but the party took a big hit in Quebec — where they were only able to hold one of the Layton era “Orange Wave” seats • Maxime Bernier, who started the People’s Party of Canada after narrowly losing the Conservative leadership contest in 2017, lost the seat he has held onto since 2006 • The former Treasury Board president Dr. Jane Philpott, who ran as an independent following her departure from the liberal caucus, lost her seat in Markham Stouffville to former Liberal MPP and Ontario Minister of Health, Dr. Helena Jaczek.

Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House will convene at 9 a.m. The government could call any one of the following pieces of business in morning debate: • Bill 32, Access to Natural Gas Act; • Bill 34, Green Energy Repeal Act; or • The government’s motion amending the standing orders. In the afternoon the government is scheduled to call Bill 36, Cannabis Statute Law Amendment Act, for third reading debate. Bill 36 cleared clause-by-clause committee at the Standing Committee on Social Policy Monday afternoon. Only one amendment from the majority-Tory side was moved and carried; it clarifies individuals can have up to 30 grams of dried cannabis on them, which is outlined in federal legislation. 2 October 16, 2018 Monday’s debates and proceedings PC MPP Parm Gill and NDP MPP Gurratan Singh held back-to-back press conferences Monday morning to announce competing private members’ bills.

Prime Minister of Canada 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 The Honourable David Lametti, P.C., Q.C., M.P. Minister of Justice House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Lametti: Re: Federal Government Strategies to Address Anti-Black Racism Further to my discussion with Minister Lametti, the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers’ (CABL) is keen to collaborate with your Government by offering its insight and expertise on critical issues affecting the Black community. On behalf of CABL, I include a list of strategic priorities we wish you to consider. But first, we want to commend the Minister of Justice for showing a willingness to act. The existence of systemic anti-Black racism in Canadian society, including our legal system, cannot be seriously disputed. Reports from the courts, academia and the media highlight the often- negative experience many Black Canadians experience within the criminal justice system. Black Canadians are stopped, carded and searched by police at disproportionate rates. Similarly, Black Canadians are disproportionately incarcerated. Stated differently, there are too many Black Canadians detained, too many Black Canadians charged and too many Black Canadians in jail. They also make up a disproportionate percentage of the victims of police violence. On the other hand, there is a distinct dearth of diversity among stakeholders of the criminal justice system.
